Seems most of the bug fixes are for you Leopard users. Still, updated anyway.

BUT, you can still DL the free version. Yeah, it was bound to happen. It is superior in too many ways to stay free. Oh well. :cry:

It is a very good product and they deserve to get paid for their superiority over the competition.  I'm just glad I got my free stuff first :wink:

Still no Windows version. I guess we'll just use Suitcase indefinitely here at work. At home, I guess I'll be using the free FontXplorer indefinitely... :laugh:

Think I may fork out the 39Euros. Cheap for that calibre of software.   :undecided:

I bang on about FEX so much, I had to get Pro before it goes to normal price on March 1.

hotmetal will like this. Now has a kerning preview pane. See screenshot.   :cheesy:   

Plus the interface is altogether more "pro".

We're happy with Suitcase here but I'll put it on another machine here and give it a go. Seems like a good program.

Hmmm..the reason I jumped to FEX was that I was having huge problems with Suitcase. Coulda been partly me at the time, novice'n'all, but...

Haven't looked back since FEX. At AU$67 until Feb 28, it's gonna cost you about US$40, off the top of my head. For now-supported software of this calibre, an opportunity to ease your work stress, IMO.

As stated in previous posts, I've had FEX activate recalcitrant fonts, even partial sets, where Fusion wouldn't so much as glance at them. Just sayin'....

I wish linotype would get their stuff together and release the PC version. Does anyone out there still have a copy of the PC beta installer? how about a recommendation for a font manager for the PC? Im already using Adobe ATM deluxe, and it does the job. Im thinking there may be something better though.
